So I’m just one dude and 10k a year just on food seems incredibly high. I don’t go out that often, ~$1600 was at restaurants. I’m not really sure what I’m doing wrong while shopping at grocery stores and want to track grocery purchases better. The store I typically go to doesn’t have online receipts to use.

I’m wondering what kind of apps are available for tracking grocery expenditures that Lemmings would recommend? It would be nice to be able to go back and check prices/sizes of things too, so what is being shrinkflated/skimpflated

    Sorry I don’t have any app suggestions, but for comparison that seems at least as much or even higher than what my wife and I spend together on our groceries. It might be worth looking at the types of things you’re buying, like there’s a lot of generics that are made in the same place as the name-brand products and sell for half the price. Also do you end up throwing out a lot of food? Your age matters a lot too, because if you’re in your teens or early 20’s you probably have a voracious appetite which goes away as you get older.
